Releases involving Joomag

Missed the deadline for your Joomag plan payment? Don’t worry, because we’ve extended the grace period to 20 days! We know special circumstances pop up every now and then, and that’s why we’re giving our loyal customers more time to pay and continue enjoying our services.

New Features

Grace period for premium services (plans, domains, storage, subscriptions, etc.) has been changed to 20 days instead of 7.

The perfect thumbnail can make or break your video’s viewability. It’s the first thing people see when interacting with a video, and if yours isn’t eye-catching, then people won’t click on it. Thumbnails provide quick snapshots (or previews) of content, and the best publishers choose them wisely. Now you can, too.

Joomag now allows publishers to customize the preview thumbnails of their videos. See how it’s done in the video below.

New Features

A pop-up message now appears to help users enable the Flash Player in web browsers.

Publishers looking for specific contacts in the Awesome CRM can now do so easily with our new advanced search filter -- “Subscription Cycle.” It filters contacts based on their selected subscription cycles including year, month, and day. With it, publishers can smartly identify and plan individual campaigns for each package type.

There’s one more thing. Any PDF version of a magazine can now be downloaded on a custom domain URL!

Updates

New filter type under Advanced search filters in Awesome CRM is now available.

When it comes to digital publishing, the little things really do matter. And with our latest platform update, your publishing experience just got a little easier in big ways.

Our spell check feature (introduced with our previous update) can now be turned off or on whenever you’re editing a publication. It’s useful if all those squiggly lines are too distracting or if you’re working with a publication that contains industry-specific words/phrases that are marked as misspelled but technically aren’t.

We’ve squashed some annoying bugs, too. Check them out below.

Updates

It’s now possible to turn off/on spell check during a session unless the page is refreshed.

Bugfixes

Fixed issue where the number of views was growing if the publisher loaded his own magazine.

Fixed issue where it was impossible to link a Diners Club International credit card to an account.

You’ll have no trouble finding the perfect stock photos for your publication with our new and advanced filters for Getty Images. Some of the new filter categories include image orientation and styles.

Publishers working with text will benefit from another great feature we’ve added- Spell Check! It will prevent any possible typos when inputting text and will even suggest auto-corrections for grammatical errors.

Viewing adult content on the Joomag Newsstand will require additional confirmation of the user’s age. In order to view publications with restricted content, you will need to confirm that you are at least 18 years of age.

New Features

New advanced filters for Getty Images.

Spell check in the Crater™ Editor.

Fixed issue where the delete button and keyboard hotkeys stopped working after opening and closing the Library in the Crater™ Editor.

We know it’s very important for our users to have all their magazine and sales data up-to-date. That’s why we’ve added a new feature allowing publishers to set specific timezones for their account. All available statistics will then be displayed automatically under the selected timezone.

Another great feature we’ve implemented this month is the “General Privacy” setting. It allows users to set specific privacy options for the entire magazine rather than configuring each issue individually. Once set, the “General Privacy” setting will be applied automatically on all newly created issues.

Improved functionality of undo/redo for text tool properties. All changes made to text properties can now be easily reverted. Changes made to font style and family will be skipped.

Fixed issue where opening a publication from a source that contains "mail" was counted as a mail campaign view.

Fixed issue where opening a publication link from the Gmail app would be shown as a referral source in the analytics pie chart.
